Along with "Funky Drummer" and "Funky President", "Think (About It)" is one of the most frequently sampled James Brown-produced recordings, having been used on tracks by dozens of hip hop, drum and bass, and Baltimore club artists. The song appeared on the sixteenth volume of the Ultimate Breaks and Beats compilation series in 1986, shortly before the release of the E-mu SP-1200 sampler in 1987. This resulted in "Think" being sampled heavily in the ensuing years. Both the song's main rhythmic groove and a vocal passage known as the Woo! Yeah! break have been used as samples.

Perhaps the first song to sample "Think" was "Go On Girl" by Roxanne Shante in 1987 (produced by Marley Marl). A few months later the same 4-bar loop of "Woo! Yeah!" appeared as the basis for Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two". Much later, Fatman Scoop also sampled it for his version of "It Takes Two". Other recordings that sample the song include Lil' Romeo's "2Way [dub] " and Dizzee Rascal's "Pussy'ole (Old Skool)". It was also sampled for EPMD's "Gold Digger".

The song was also remade by reggae singer Patra in 1993, and Lyn Collins herself made an appearance on the remix and in the music video.
